So I'm going on accutane in about 3-4 days and summer is in 2 months. We have practice 4 days a week in the middle of the day and we are almost always in the sun and I don't burn that easily but it will be worse on this drug and when it comes time to football season it's 2 hours in the sun and even when I use sunscreen I still get burnt any ideas or advice you can give me for practice or games in the sun? Thank you! And how possible is it too tan?
